Any thoughts of what perennial my friend could plant for her north facing garden? She’s in California. She wants a pop of color around these bushes. Something either red, yellow or purple. Thank you!

I really like Columbine. It spreads a bit, can help fill in some of the blanks, and mine are giving lovely purple blooms.

Do you know which hardiness zone? I would add ground covering or creeping plants that will enhance the shrubs. Begonias are quite shade tolerant but a lot of them are only annuals.

Bugles, nettles (Lamium), clovers and Hostas works well in shade ☺️

0 LikesI have purple coral bells. There’s a few different varieties so I chose part sun to full shade for my north facing house. They compliment my green plants well and they’re pretty low maintenance.
